Bill to route internet through Russian servers spurs protestThe sanctioned rally on Sunday was organized in response to a bill in parliament that would route all internet traffic through servers in Russia, making virtual private networks (VPNs) ineffective.

Advocates say the bill is intended to address concerns that Russia could be cut off if the United States applies a new cybersecurity doctrine in an offensive maneuver.

Bill, there have been quite a few cases of this happening in the past year or so.

However, there might be a simple and innocent explanation. If the original story came from a news agency then it will have been written as a finished story and then sub-editors would rewrite headlines and possibly body copy.

These days there are far fewer copy editors as a result of budget cuts at most newsdesks and so it is more common to see stories that have had only the most cursory rewriting work performed meaning that stories are tending toward the uniform.

Here, we can see that both articles are wire stories and so this is quite likely given that the second is from AP which is a press/wire agency.

...everything ends always well; if it’s still bad, then it’s not the end!

Scare-news, VPN's will continue to operate no matter what routers lie in between.Thats the whole concept of a VPN. The "in between" routers cannot listen to the encrypted traffic.

The US probably DID try to cut off Iran from the internet and the very reason ARPANET came into being was proven.

Internet 101..lesson endeth.

The original intent for the creation of the internet was to allow for continued connection between computers located at distant locations during a nuclear war. You could continue to plan strategy as the situation at the other locations are communicated to you. It was not created to be used as a social gathering site nor an e-commerce hub. Nor to discuss how to successfully date other people.

Yup. You got what ARPANET was and why what evolved....the internet..is hard to disconnect a nation from...unless that nation wants to be disconnected...
